Abstract

Back Ground And Aim: Medical students confront with significant academic, psychological, existential stress throughout their professional training therefore this study is plan to see the effect of stress on cardio-respiratory fitness in form of aerobic and anaerobic power

Material and method: This study was done to assess the effects of stress on cardio-respiratory fitness in terms of aerobic and anaerobic power in 60 young, healthy Medical students of age group17-22 yrs. In the groups, aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity and was measured at the beginning and after 6 month.. Results were analysed statistically by using student's t-test.

Result: After six months, there is no any significant change in aerobic power and in anaerobic power in the group indicating improved cardio-respiratory fitness.

Conclusion: there is no as such change in Aerobic power and Anaerbic power

Key Word: Stress, Aerobic power (v02 max) and Anaerobic power
